CHAMPAGNAT WEEK EDITION

On 2nd January, 2017 we celebrate the bicentenary of the founding,

by St Marcellin Champagnat, of the Marist Brothers and the

commencement of Marist schools. Marcellin lived from 1789 to 1840.

He was a man for his times and his spirit lives on today, nearly 200

years later. This spirit is alive in the men and women, boys and girls

who adopt Marist spirituality, a spirituality which comes from Mary the mother

of Jesus. Mary’s typical response to life was as ‘the servant of the Lord’ (Luke

1:38).

Marcellin was a family man. He learnt much from his pious mother and civic-

minded father. He enjoyed living life to the full, whether he was tending sheep as

a child, studying late at night at the seminary or guiding his Brothers to be the

best instruments of God’s grace they could be.

Champagnat Week 2014 reminds us of this vital French priest’s abundant life, whether it be as builder of

the Hermitage or negotiator with the French government to obtain approval for his Brothers to teach. He

loved to visit the families in the hamlets in the nearby French countryside. Marcellin enjoyed supporting

family life and in so doing gained a better understanding of the children he and the first Brothers were

teaching.

Marcellin’s commitments included working in the parish of La Valla in the wake of the turmoil of the

French Revolution. As always, the church was proposing people live by faith. Alternatively, the Revolution

was promoting living by reason, not faith. Marcellin loved to answer such questions through his preaching

and conversations. He also sought passionately to provide for the sacramental life of his parishioners.

Whatever Marcellin took on, he did so with dedication and thoroughness. Those of us who follow him

today cannot help but be touched by his energy for the Church and Catholic Education. He would be

delighted to know that today’s Marist Colleges achieve the same high standards educationally as the first

Marist Schools while, at the same time, valuing and nurturing the faith and life of the local Church

community. We ask St Marcellin Champagnat to pray for us.

Director of Marist Mission

Dear Parents, Caregivers, Students, Staff and Friends of the

College,

At the recent Annual General Meeting of the Sports

Association for Adelaide Schools (SAAS) a range of issues

were discussed in relation to the conduct of College Sport.

Part of this discussion was to ensure that each College

community raise awareness of a few particular areas with

students, staff and families.

The SAAS has a particular Code of Practice. It empowers

coaches and officials to act on ill-disciplined behaviour and to

sanction dangerous play, sometimes in excess to the usual

rules of club sport; for example, on occasions this has meant

teachers or coaches removing players from the game even if

the officials did not see an incident.

Following is an excerpt from the Code of Practice which

highlights a few areas we all need to be mindful of so as to

enhance Sacred Heart's formidable reputation in the sporting

arena. As always, if concerns arise please do not hesitate to

contact the College.

Regards

Steve Byrne Principal

Remar

“Living as Christ’s Disciples with Humility, Loyalty and Solidarity”

The motto for the Blue Crossing (Remar speak for Year 11) is “Living as Christ’s Disciples with Humility,

Loyalty and Solidarity,” and during the recent Blue Retreat, our Remar students were invited to explore

the meaning of these words in depth. Held at Smith Beach Resort on beautiful Phillip Island, the retreat

was a welcome break from the stress and pressures of year 11 studies. As was to be expected, our students

represented the college in an exemplary manner; they gave generously of themselves throughout the

weekend long retreat and came away closer to their own caravel and more connected to the wider

Australian Remar community. Thank you to the Remar Ministry Team, who under the guidance of

Brother Rob, facilitated yet another rewarding and inspiring chapter in our Remar journey. We look

forward, now, to preparing for Solidarity Week in August when we travel to Davenport, Port Augusta

and get the opportunity to further practice our motto.

“The focus of the Blue Retreat was discovering who we are spiritually and learning that spirituality

does not always have to be religious or mean you believe in God. Through the camp we continued

our journey of leadership and grew individually and as a caravel. Meeting the other caravels was a

huge highlight as we had the chance to form new friendships and hear about what Remar's like for

other schools. Another highlight for me was the t-shirt session which allowed us to acknowledge

and remove the masks we wear around others. The camp challenged me to grow spiritually and keep

an open mind and respect others’ beliefs.” Jess Fealy

“The retreat was focused on us individually, our spiritual growth and our relationship with God.

Two main highlights from the retreat was of course meeting lots of amazing, unique individuals

from different schools in Victoria and being able to sit down in a calm environment and have time

to think about my relationship with God and reflect on some issues we might be facing. I was

challenged to grow and mature in a way that they expected us to be respectful of the environment

we were in and we spent many hours sitting and listening to the leaders talk and reflecting on our

relationships and how we act around different people.” Katherine Gibb

SHCS and Assumption College Kilmore Exchange

22nd – 24th August 2014

The Sacred Heart College and Assumption College

exchange has been taking place for 58 years and presents

as a great tradition for both Colleges. The weekend is a

significant gathering of the Marist Community that

enables students to participate in a range of activities

within our respective schools. The exchange enables

students to display their academic, performance and

sporting talents in a competitive and mutually supportive

environment.

Competition involves Debating, Open A Soccer, Open A

Hockey, Open A Netball, Open A Basketball,

1st XV111 Football, Sprint Skins, plus a musical and dance

performance.

Participation in this Exchange requires students

committing themselves to the entire weekend from Friday

to Sunday.

To ensure the success of the weekend we rely on families

welcoming young people from Assumption College into

their homes. The College will be looking to billet 125

students for two nights and I have given you an outline of

what the weekend entails. We will soon be asking for your

help. It is a great way for all students to come together to

support this wonderful weekend. You don’t have to be in

the Sport, Debating or Music to host a billet.
